UC Law student receives shoutout from U.S. Supreme Court blog
By Andy Cheng
Third year law student Trane Robinson was recently featured on SCOTUSblog, a blog followed by Supreme Court advocates and journalists. Robinson wrote a blog post for the University of Cincinnati Law Review in which he reviewed the Supreme Court of the United States’s October Term 2019.
Robinson’s review details the Terms’ major rulings. The 3L student bases his analysis on material from within “the four corners of published opinions” and rejects the idea that the justices engage in “horse-trading votes across cases.”

In writing his review, Robinson states, “I followed the Court closely this Term and noticed a lot of reporting that I believed was too shallow, which tended to over-politicize the Supreme Court.” He continues, “I wanted to accurately document what I believe occurred this Term, based on reading the cases, in response to the misleading ‘headline reporting’ I saw.”
SCOTUSblog editor James Romoser reached out to Robinson at 1:30 AM the night before the post would be published. “My first thought was, ‘I better edit this thing once more before the morning,’” Robinson recalls.

Third year students Mike Chernoff and Brianna Vollman also assisted with their edits. After graduation, Robinson will be clerking on the Supreme Court of Ohio.
